I just grilled the best MOTHER^&**& steak ever....

Wow you couldn't be any farther from the truth about filets my man.

All I eat are filets, ya your boi cali is a prime time player, and I never ever use any sauce with filets. You buy filets for the taste and tenderness, thats what makes it a better steak and thats why it costs more.

If you have to put sauce on your steak than you got some shitty meat. End of story. Its like a bitch putting on makeup when she has massive zits. Now if you want to sauté onions and canned mushrooms on your low class meat I can get down with that.

All you need is some garlic salt, 7 min side on medium'ish temp and your done.

Also, this crap about a upside down bowl and foil wrap...blah blah blah. Are you cooking a steak or making a fucking space ship???

It takes 3-5 minutes to take the meat off the cooking device and to put the sides on your plate. Build a foil wrap fort, gotta be joking.

Pip, eat shit. :thumbdown and I suck at grammar.

We all love you, cali. Really, we do.

I like this rule of thumb: the more expensive the cut of steak, the less rub you use. Grill or sear those puppies with minimal seasoning.

I like buying the tougher cuts, flap or flank steak, and marinating them. In San Francisco, taking the cheaper cuts of steak and marinating them has become a bit of a point of pride: those are the cuts that are very popular in ethnic resteraunts like Korean Barbecue, Japanese steakhouses, and Mexican taquerias. It's a different expereince, but at least you get to eat steak sandwiches for the next two days afterward... you can get three times as much steak for the same price.

Also it's annoying when people freak out over steak sauces...no a steak shouldn't need a sauce, but a good steak cause can compliment a steak very nicely (such as that Alton Brown video)...

Bobby Flay made me a steak with three sauces one time in Las Vegas...

Well the problem is (ok it isn't really a problem) that from my experience people use steak sauce the same way they do ketchup in that they dip every little piece of steak into it and it completely overpowers the flavor of the meat. If you have some bad meat that's fine. Also, I just like your last sentence, "Bobby Flay did WHAT?!?!".

The steaks I cook are so damn good, you don't need any kind of sauce.....BUT...I'm still partial to good 'ol A1 Steaksauce. I usually eat a few pieces without sauce, then go with a few LIGHTLY dipped into the sauce, and alternate.

 

[Randolphkeys]

Unless I hear the word "reduction" in the steak sauce, just stop typing.

I'm entirely the same way. I love A1. If it's a great steak and I know it's cooked just how I like it I will forego the A1, otherwise I will pour out a small side of it for occasional dipping, but certainly not drenching.

I used to eat chicken with A1 sauce I loved it so much....but for whatever reason I don't do that anymore.

My god, this thread makes me hungry.

Haven't broken out the grill this year yet, but I did just have the Ribeye at Lola over the weekend, and that combined with this thread is pretty much guaranteeing that I'll be trying the BigMar method this weekend on a nice steak or two for me and the Mrs.

Godspeed and good luck. As a tip....if you're using a cast iron pan that is only big enough for 1 steak at a time, more than likely the 2nd steak you cook (and subsequent steaks) will cook a little hotter since the pan will have been in the 500 degree oven for longer....so keep that in mind. Also, you shouldn't have as much smoke the 2nd time around. Timing is key when you're cooking more than 1 steak (with only 1 steak at a time).

A1 is just straight garbage. I can't believe people even still use that shit.

Lee and Perrins Sweet and Tangy steak sauce *it used to be called something different* is where it's at for cheap steaks.

There is a local place that makes some amazing steak sauce too, but it's not quite what it used to be under the new ownership.

So we couldn't pull off an RCF get together. How about an RCF Grill Off? I think there's too much pride and bravado here for everyone not to show up.

Yet you put less seasoning on it and what is the common cooking tactic in this thread? Buy cheap meat and put a bunch of seasoning on it and cook it this special way.

If you want fatty meat for flavor get prime rib.

Rand, do you buy your steaks at Costco? I wouldn't dare buy it anywhere else in the city and since we are talking about food, have you ever had Busters cheese stakes in the north shore?
